I'm going to butcher this, but the gist was that area also had more tough gun laws than others. A judge denied a request to have the more stringent rules lifted, as it was supposed to prevent this from happening.

Also supposedly the location for 16 candles and Ferris Bueller. Parade with cops already there for crowd and traffic management…something something one good guy with a gun…

Not the hood. Highland Park is Chicago North Shore, similar to Philadelphia's Main Line.

My niece and her kids were at the parade.

Sigh…

I see both sides on Twitter are already pushing their narrative on his background.

All I can tell is that he looks like what I’d imagine an Antifa dude to look like, has the #47 tatted on his face which is either a reference to nazis or the Hitman video game and that he attended a Trump rally and posted a picture of him draped in a Trump flag.

So apparently he’s a left wing incel Nazi/Hitman appropriating Trump lover/hater.

Or something like that. :?

Well if the guy was on a rooftop, with a good firing position & field of fire, that’s a whole another animal..

I'm going to say it.

The treatment of the white male needs to stop.

You want to keep vilifying them. Good luck. Pull your head out of your ass.

Clearly, psychiatric drugs are the real culprit here.

What is driving this issue? This is a terrible problem, but why do we keep seeing the same thing over and over? Loner white males angry.

I know that in my existence, all I've seen is that men, in general, are told they are pieces of shit and need to change.

When I heard Highland Park and wealthy I immediately thought of Highland Park, Texas. Small, very wealthy independent city completely surrounded by Dallas.

Among others. Violence is often borne of desperation and/or greed. Shifting cultural values with a perceived or real loss of freedom also contribute.

Chicago shooting update, Independence Day Weekend:
2019: 68 shot, 5 died.
2020: 79 shot, 15 died
2021: 100 shot, 19 died
2022: 71 shot, 8 died
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootin ... /12019829/

The Highland Park #s are lower. 30 injured (not all shot), 7 killed.

Yet the MSM is only giving a tiny fraction of the attention/coverage to the bigger Chicago shooting #s. Since most of the Highland Park victims are white, and most of the Chicago victims black and brown, one can only conclude that the lack of coverage of the Chicago shootings compared to Highland Park indicates the MSM is racist.

In April 2019, an individual called police a week after learning of Crimo attempting suicide, Covelli said. The matter was handled by mental health professionals with no law enforcement, he added.

In September 2019, a family member reported Crimo had a collection of knives and "was going to kill everyone," Covelli said. Police responded to the incident and seized 16 knives, a dagger, and a sword from Crimo’s possession, Covelli said. Highland Park police notified Illinois State Police of the incident but no further actions were taken.

No new "gun control" laws needed, when all the signs were there, and laws were already in place that should have stopped him from being able to legally purchase.
